Hi Ansca,
Will Corona work on OS X Lion? If not, is there and expected date.
Full screen mode for the simulator would be nice 
Thank you,

Corona simulator will not open in Lion GM 
Hoping it will work on the official release date (soon)

As much as I loathe saying it, Iām going to call this my first grievance with Ansca / Corona.
I wrote in another thread regarding being unable to build any device binaries using Lion GM and Xcode 4.1 DP 7: https://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/07/05/lion-os-x
ā¦No response or acknowledgement from anyone at Ansca, official or otherwise.
Iāve emailed Carlos. He was traveling in Miami and said he was going to tell his team.
ā¦No response after that.
I officially opened up a bug ticket, #6689.
ā¦No response after that. To date, it remains open and unacknowledged.
Iāve tweeted publicly for any kind of acknowledgement. We all know Lion is right around the corner. It has to be addressed. People will undoubtedly be updating as early as day 1.
ā¦No response or acknowledgement to the tweet.
Carlos and team have been making other announcements and development updates, but Iām both surprised and disappointed that there has been no mention of Lion compatibility, informal, official, or otherwise.
Iām surprised you canāt even open Corona. I was able to use Corona properly in Lion GM on my MacBook Air, with the only exception of being able to build out to devices when there is any iphone-plist values in the build.settings file. After all this lack of response, I made the sacrifice of having to wipe out my MBA and bring it back to Snow Leopard, then reinstall everything all over again, just so I can get back to work.

Waitā¦ so Corona doesnāt correctly work on Lion?!
I mean, itās going to be released probably next week, and I was planning to update asapā¦ but if itās going to mess with Corona, wow, thatās a big problem.
Hey Ansca, any news on this? [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 45568[/import]
We have to be very careful about what we can say publicly because Lion is still under Apple NDA and Apple takes these things very seriously.
Please try the latest daily build and let us know what is working and what is still broken.

I donāt see how saying if Corona is working on Lion or not is going to violate Apple NDA.
Iāve seen many other developers telling customers if their applications are Lion-ready or not, if itās ok to upgrade or is best to waitā¦
Iād just like to know if I can safely upgrade to Lion or not. [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46166[/import]
Yeah, itās not breaking any NDA to say whether or not it will work. I mean I would hope youāve worked it out for Lion, or else your company would have a non-working product! I donāt think anybody here could live another day without Corona

Lion wonāt open the Corona Simulator for me (I get the same message for Photoshop & Illustrator)
I do have Java & I do have internet connection. Iām Face Timing someone as I get this error (so I DEFINITELY have internet) [import]uid: 50842 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46172[/import]
I will say that Corona SDK works for me.
We donāt currently write any code that tries to install Java for you in Corona. Iāll leave it to you to infer who is responsible for that dialog you see and strongly recommend: https://bugreport.apple.com
You might also try changing/resetting your network and firewall settings.

I just got conformation that Java for Lion is not currently available - and should be available tomorrow 
Matt [import]uid: 50842 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46275[/import]
So just to confirm, with todayās full release of Lion we should NOT be upgrading yet until a new build of Corona is out that supports it? Or were the problems just with the developer release of Lion? [import]uid: 31262 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46428[/import]
I got the full version of Lion and the trial version of Corona, I had to download some java stuff at startup but when I did that it seems to be working just fine [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46434[/import]
So now that the NDA is liftedā¦
We believe that the most recent daily builds work with Lion. Internally, Corona works for us on Lion (seeds). And we got confirmation from exactly one user that it works for them as well. We havenāt gotten much feedback otherwise.
But the current stable release of Corona will not work with Lion, so if you are not a subscriber, you need to wait.
There multiple problems with Lion which believe we have fixed in the Daily Builds:
- Lion removed the āfullā versions BridgeSupport files without warning.
- Xcode tool paths changed again
- Java is no longer included by default
The Java issue we actually havenāt done anything for. Apple (for now) seems to automatically detect we have a Java dependency and will prompt you that Corona needs it. If connected to the Internet, Apple will automatically install Java if you allow it (like it used to do with Rosetta). A couple of users complained this Apple-auto-install didnāt work for them, but somebody reported that Apple should have fixed that by today for the official release. (We never had any Java install problems ourselves.)
We use Java because we need to run some Java tools to help build Android apps. I know it is a little annoying to have to install this if you are doing iOS only, but Apple has been shipping Java preinstalled in Mac OS X for as long as I can remember, so we didnāt predict this would be a issue way back in the 10.5 Leopard era.

Im not a subscriber (YET!) but it works for me with Lion. [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46437[/import]
@oskwish Can you do everything you could before including building for device, testing in simulator etc? [import]uid: 31262 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46439[/import]
Canāt build for device since I havenāt joined the Apple Developer Program yet but I can run it in the simulator and the terminal since to be working just fine for debugging as before. [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46440[/import]
Thanks oskwish, hopefully others can give their input too. Not sure if I whould upgrade yet although I really want to. [import]uid: 31262 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46445[/import]
I can launch the simulator on Lion (Release Build) with the Corona Daily build I have installed (574). But when I attempt to build for device I get an error message āThe iOS SDK Could not be found. Please install the iOS SDKā.
I assume Lion moved the tools (I have the iOS SDK)? Are there some simple symlinks I could do, or would re-installing the SDK from scratch help (a pain since the download is so freakinā huge).
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Terminal.app, use
xcode-select -print-path
to verify that the path is going to the correct location.
If it isnāt, use
sudo xcode-select -switch /path/to/your/xcode
[import]uid: 7563 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46448[/import]
It works, just make sure you let the Java update download after Lion installs. [import]uid: 7116 topic_id: 12390 reply_id: 46449[/import]
